Facebook chat + multiple tabs = dead CPU

Does it have to open the chat window in every tab? Argh. It slows Firefox to a crawl even with as few as 5 (Facebook) tabs open. It must be doing a lot of fast polling—maybe they should switch to long polling, or perhaps they are, but Firefox isn't very efficient at it.
